Jeff Lupient: The Comprehensive Safety Features of the All-New 2024 Kia Tel

Jeff Lupient: How the Kia Telluride prioritizes safety, ensuring peace of mind for drivers and passengers alike on the road 

Jeff Lupient emphasizes that ensuring safety while on the road is paramount for every driver. Whether maneuvering through bustling highways or traversing city streets, your vehicle must have dependable safety features to safeguard yourself and your passengers.

Beneath the sleek aesthetics lies a vehicle that anticipates every twist and potential turn of your drive. The 2024 Kia Telluride stands as a paragon of preparation long before you shift into gear, featuring: 

Anti-lock brakes (ABS)

One of the fundamental safety features in modern vehicles is anti-lock brakes (ABS). These brakes automatically sense when a tire has stopped rotating under extreme braking and adjust brake pressure accordingly. By allowing the tires to rotate, ABS enhances a vehicle's ability to turn while braking, minimizing the risk of skidding and maintaining control during emergency stops.

Stability control

An advanced safety feature, stability control, is engineered to help drivers maintain vehicle control during sudden movements or challenging road conditions. It works by recognizing when a vehicle is on the brink of surpassing its handling limits and reacts by reducing engine power and applying brakes to specific wheels selectively. This preemptive action aids in preventing loss of control and potential accidents, especially in slick or challenging driving conditions.

Front-impact airbags

These are designed to protect occupants' heads during a frontal collision. Positioned in the front of the vehicle, these airbags deploy rapidly upon impact, cushioning the driver and front passenger from head injuries by absorbing the force of the collision.

Side impact airbags

Side impact airbags are crucial for protecting occupants' torsos in the event of a side collision. These airbags deploy from the sides of the vehicle's seats, providing additional protection to mitigate the impact forces during a side collision.

Overhead airbags

Known as curtain airbags, they protect occupants' heads in case of a side collision or rollover. Deploying from the vehicle's ceiling, these airbags create a protective barrier between the occupants and the windows or other objects, reducing the risk of head injuries.

Knee airbags

Positioned below the dashboard, these airbags provide support and protection to the occupants' knees and legs, reducing the risk of serious injury during a crash.

Pre-tensioners

Seatbelt pre-tensioners are safety features that automatically tighten seatbelts upon sensing a collision. By rapidly removing slack from the seatbelt, pre-tensioners ensure occupants are securely restrained in the optimal seating position, reducing the risk of injury during a crash.

Security system

A robust security system protects your vehicle from theft and unauthorized access. Equipped with intrusion detection mechanisms, modern security systems can anticipate and detect unwanted vehicle intrusion. Additionally, ignition disable devices prevent the engine from starting unless the correct original manufacturer key is used, adding an extra layer of protection against theft.

The safety features and systems in the 2024 Kia Telluride indicate a broader shift in the automotive landscape, where technological advancements and engineering prowess are being harnessed to keep drivers and passengers safe like never before.
